Without further adieu, I present Camp Crushes Volume II, the hotties of Redskins Training Camp 2012...
A hometown boy - product of Episcopal High School and University of Richmond - with a 1,000 watt smile, Tim Hightower is a favorite of mine on and off the field. While injuries have plagued him, he remains the best pass rusher in our RB corps and seems to be recovering well him his latest knee injury. I have high hope that he will stay healthy and remain active with the team for several seasons to come.
Pardon this gratuitous shot of Hightower with one of the stars of Camp Crushes Volume I, Niles Paul, but how could I resist?
Hightower seems to be moving well on the field, if somewhat limited and not always with the first team. We know he won't be on the field against Buffalo tomorrow, but the most recent depth chart showed him as our number one back.
While there are a lot of storylines to follow this offseason, I think it is safe to say that one of the players fans are most excited to see in action, other than the obvious, is Leonard Hankerson, who suffered a devastating hip injury last season right after putting on a breakout performance. He is a fan favorite who gives as much love to them as they do to him.
He certainly seems to have recovered well from the surgery and is showing flashes of becoming that receiver we all so desperately hope he can be. It seems all but certain that Pierre Garcon will be our number one receiver, but there is plenty of room for Hankerson to shine in our offense and I think he will.
The controversial Cousins... I was a fan of the Cousins pick in the 4th round of this draft. Hindsight is 20-20, sure, and, with the current state of our O-line, people are starting to once again decry his selection by the Redskins, but I still believe in the wisdom of it. He is not a big QB, but, by all accounts, he is smart, agile, eager to learn and should develop into a reliable back up - not to mention potential trade fodder down the line. I like his attitude and he's cute. And let's face it, no one wants to see Rex here indefinitely.
Don't you worry, Camp Crushes Volume III is up next.
